Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Although I’m now 32 years old, I still love my Mom with all of my heart. Today is a special day because we’re celebrating her birthday. I still have the piece of paper on which I wrote this poem for her back in 1977. I can recite this as if I wrote it yesterday.

A mother is someone who always caresShe’s watching you here and she’s watching you thereShe trying to make sure that you grow up goodTo do the things that you know you shouldShe’s watching forever time after timeTo make sure you haven’t committed some kind of crimeShe’s just like a bird, she watches like a doveShe’s trying real hard to give you her love

Ma,I’m still that lil’ boy that loves you tremendously. In the darkest times of my life, you have always been there to give me light. For all the wisdom and all the love, I can only say thank you and love you back.
